The Helicopter Pilot's Manual Volume 2
Helicopter Pilot's Manual Vol 2 - Powerplants, Instruments and Hydraulics
This second volume of The Helicopter Pilot's Manual provides a natural follow-on to Norman Bailey's first manual. It also aims to instruct and help the would-be pilot to pass the PPL(H) and is concerned with the mechanical aspects of the examination.
The large section on gas-turbine engines provides essential reading for those pilots wishing to convert to the type. Of primary importance are the chapters on piston and turbine powerplants, airworthiness, flight instruments and hydraulics.
This book is a basic manual for those students of helicopter flying. In this manual the author, Norman Bailey, delves into the fundamental knowledge that a quality pilot should have. It is therefore a new publication that complements volume 1 already published by the same author.
The aim of this manual is to train and make it easier for the pilot student to pass PPL (H) and to deal with the mechanical aspects of the examination.
Among other contents of great importance that are treated in this manual stand out:
Gas Turbine Engines
Piston and turbine power plants
Airworthiness
Flight instruments
Hydraulics
Norman Bailey first learned to fly in the Army Air Corps and later graduated from the RAF Central Flight School for Helicopter Instructors. He is an AAC helicopter examiner and was a member of the UK Helicopter Examiner Panel from 1976 to 1986. He currently resides in Manchester.
